and i know

the church window through which
i've been staring...
can you tell the building was once
an elementary school?

﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿sitting in my church classroom
an hour and a half
early for class
staring out the window
trying not to sigh audibly
it's raining (again)
and
chris is in ghana (still)
and
i know he's right where he should be
but
i miss him (a lot)
so
i'm just a smidge melancholy....
to make myself feel
better
i'm going to add to my
thankfuls list
even though it's
not
monday (gasp!)

oh...you! i just love you and look forward to coming b/c I know you will give me something real and good in few words...it's an awesome gift! yes, we are in a season where he will travel {most likely} without us--not sure--PRAY!

northwestern ghana. don't remember the name of the town. he and one other guy from our church are traveling around with a Ghanan (is this the demonym?) preaching in villages. staying in hotels and guesthouses as they go. it's going really well.

Oh good, I'm not the only one who appreciates exclamation points!!!Think of you often, Kendal, and thank God for your courage and freedom. I sat with a friend the other day and read your book together. May God continue to use your words to point others to Him!Sweet blessings,Cindy :)

Your words really hit me today--feeling a touch of melancholy even though you know your husband is where God wants Him to be. How many times have I felt that way! I love how I can relate to your words--except for the arriving an hour and a half early somewhere--that's never happened for me. :) The rain definitely brings out my melancholy moods.

I'm saying a prayer for you and your husband today--that you will be comforted and that God will bless His work. My childhood pastor just returned from a trip to Ghana, as well; he goes every couple of years.

Thank you so much for linking up today. It's been a crazy week; I'm looking forward to visiting your blog more often again!

Always refreshing and uplifting Kendall...I love that you are thankful for exclamation points - I sometimes wonder if I use them too often! (oops!?). Ephesians is a favorite - have you ever read "Sit, Walk, Stand" by Watchman Nee? (An expository treatment of the book of Ephesians, but it is a slim volume...yet powerful!)

Hang in there! Sounds like Chris is doing some amazing work... and he'll soon be home. (I know, it's never soon enough.) I don't know how my sister-in-law does it when my brother gets deployed for several months at a time. Uggh... that would be the worst! Take Care! ♥ Jodi

Love your poem and the thankful list.The yellow is so bright and cheery unlike your weather ti sounds. Very cool list of community that we may want to check out. I may jsut hop on over to one.BlessingsOh Im here from finger print friday from beki

Especially today, while learning about the devastation in Japan and talking to my friend who just lost her husband, I feel more grateful than ever. Your list is another reminder to never ever forget gratefulness.

Aw. Kendal. You just touched my heart. I'm part of your online community while hubby is away. Love sharing these precious snippets of life together... btw, a new church? yay! It's a beautiful thing to find a new home, to be at rest with family and faith.
